A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing（濫用）drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday．An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them．

   “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use．”said Dr．McArdle，of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study．“They also suggest that attachment（感情眷念），particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances．”The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England，Ireland，Italy，Germany and the Netherlands．They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol．The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised（監(jiān)護）after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home．

   “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement．But he added that a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits．The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16．6 percent．If either factor was missing, the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．

   Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility

The phrase“maternal bond”appears twice in this passage．Guess its meaning__________．

       A．物質的獎勵                B．母親的約束        

       C．法律的制裁              D．學校的指導

According to McArdle,which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem_________?

       A．16-year-old Tom from a happy big family    

       B．17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother．

       C．18-year-old Juliet living with her single father． 

       D．19-year-old Mark cared by his parents．

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage__________?

       A．Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem．

       B．Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire．

       C．Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents．

       D．Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse．

The last paragraph suggests that________．

       A．schools should answer for the drug problem           

       B．television and media are to blame

       C．parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem

第一題：閱讀理解（分兩節(jié)，共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面的短文，并根據短文后的要求答題。

From good reading we can get pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity.____1___ It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever our main purpose in reading may be, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.

___2____ Whether the characters are taken from real life or purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. ___3___ By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.

____4____. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no train or airplane to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our hearts’ desire. Through books we may get the excitement of dangerous adventure without danger. We can climb noble mountains, brave the freeze of an Antarctic winter, or cross the extremely hot sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mix with the cheerful crowds of the Paris roads; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking.
